Round two of adorable Halloween Mini Sessions up on the blog. Such cute little kids. Three out of the four families do this every year so it’s always a treat to see them again.

Little Nathan…the guy who made the Tot Trends Weekly Halloween cover last week.

Isaac, Belle & Zachary. And one of Belle alone because she looked like such a perfect princess. My Cameron is also going to be Snow White but we didn’t spring for this fancy schmancy costume.

Karina and Kyle show up every year too.

Batman and Robin were new blood…:)

Halloween Mini Sessions

Back by popular demand are my spooky Halloween Mini Sessions! Okay, not quite spooky, but super fun no less. I just figure you spend time and money finding the perfect Halloween costume so why not get stylish photos of your kids wearing them? These are my girls’ favorite sessions I do since I let them come and hand out treats to all the kids when they are done with photos.

First up was Ellie the wickedly cute witch.

And her big sister Chloe the skeleton girl.

And Kate was the most perfect Dorothy I’ve ever seen.

And her little brother Justin was a grumpy pirate. He warmed up eventually, but the first photo is classic. Argh…

Kylie was sweet Minnie Mouse.

And one of my favorite kids from last year…Roman the Lion.

And Roman came with his brand new baby sister the fish.

Valentine’s Sessions – Day 2

Alrighty, day two of the Valentine’s sessions is here! Another day of ridiculously gorgeous kids – a couple are with modeling agencies – and a few more that should be:) I think these sessions are my favorite mini sessions to date.

Super cute in her Kaia Eve outfit and his pink tie! And what says Valentine’s Day more than big heart lollipops?

Could these girls be any cuter? Geez. Here is a little vintage treatment to this image, which is how I imagined this entire session looking.

All the kids were so stylish this time with boots and cute dresses! This little girl worked it for me the entire time.

And last, but not least are the rock stars of the session! Not sure if anyone would recognize, but the little one was in Old Navy print ads inside the stores during November and December. You’ll see why…

And this one just makes me laugh! They are totally singing, dancing, listening to music, playing instruments and Sheridan is such a goofball! I can do an entire post on their silly faces, especially her.

Valentine’s Sessions – Day 1

This past weekend was filled with Valentine’s Mini Sessions for kids. There were 11 families that showed up over the two days. It was so dang cute. You might recognize some faces from previous holiday minis, but there are also some newbies (coined from Scrubs of course).

If you are interested in future mini sessions, please sign up to the right of this blog and you’ll get all the invites. Next one will be Easter sessions.

Two sets of twins back to back! This guy was so serious until we got him laying down on the ground. But I will always pick serious faces over smiley faces.

I’ve taken photos of Blake & Katelyn before…love these two!

Then the always entertaining Chloe & Ellie. They even had the next family waiting cracking up.

Oh, the eyes of my website…sweet Rylee who should be in modeling. She’s at almost all the mini sessions.

These adorable guys live next to Rylee and were so happy the entire time.

And little Annabelle is at almost all my mini sessions too:) She busted out with the second pose all on her own.

Last up for the day were these two cute girls who got their parents to join in on the fun. They are friends with one of my first few brides ever!

Bridge Mini Sessions

I feel so bad that there are so many sessions I’m not even blogging! I did this mini session at the park with the bridge and am showing just one bridge shot from each family. All are treated with an antique-like post processing. It’s my new favorite thing to do to at least one or two images from every session. Enjoy:)

More Halloween Mini Sessions

Last weekend I squeezed in a few more Halloween Mini Sessions at my house for those that live locally, and didn’t have a group already set up. I sent the notice out to those that signed up on my blog for specials (if you already signed up a year ago, please do again since I lost your emails with my last computer crash).

These are my new neighbors…Ellie & Chloe.

And Rylee…the famous blue eyes! Can you believe her Mom made this costume 10 years ago?

Little Lily: She’s the baby in my blog header with the pretty eyes and pink blanket. Gotta love the bug family portrait with the pest control guy.

And this session didn’t quite work out as planned. Emely would not stop crying. She did for a second, I snapped a photo and she bawled. But her and Christina were such cute bat girls. And baby Ellie slept the entire time.

And Hailey & Lucy…the cutest Dorothy and Raggedy Ann ever!

Mini Session in the Fields

Shannon Lott — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 02:30:00 +0000

Last Sunday (yes, I’m a week behind on blogging) was another mini session held in the beautiful fields of Chino Hills. Everyone probably thought I was leading them on a wild goose chase, but I think the drive was worth it. Jamie was my fabulous hostess and gathered her friends and teaching buddies, and brought tons of goodies for the kids. I can’t seem to narrow down my favorites very well anymore so each family got a mini collage sneak:)

Enjoy!

Jamie gets to see double the sneak since she was the hostess:)

Halloween Mini Sessions

It’s that time of year! My first Halloween Mini Sessions took place last weekend in Walnut and as every year, Glenda was first up to gather her troops! It was a gloomy day and rained just after we finished. The kids had fun playing on the giant bale of hay I picked up. I personally love my bright Halloween portraits of my kids and I bring them out every year for the entire month of October.

Nathaniel: He wanted to be Elmo. Mommy wanted him to be a Pumpkin! My daughter kept telling me last night that she loves the one of him jumping because he really looks like Elmo in that photo.

Roman: One of the cutest little Monkeys I’ve ever seen:) I want to take him home.

Isaac & Belle: Bad ass Stormtrooper and Butterfly. Probably my most photographed clients yet I still can’t believe how big they look every time.

Courtney & Emily: Ariel (with natural red hair) and a little Halloween Mini Mouse. She had the cute ears but took them off. They also wanted some non-costume Fall photos. Tisha, they turned out so cute, huh?

Karina & Kyle: I loved Karina’s dress, parasol and her sweet ladylike demeanor. Kyle was the cutest little Pirate that looks like he’s up to no good!

And last, but not least, Ethan and Laurel: The Bride of Frankenstein with such a personality in front of the camera, and Ethan who was really nothing but put on one of the many old hats they brought and pretended to be all serious for me.
